Anybody know why this error keeps popping up?

The server has maxed out the number of MySQL connections it allows. You can try turning persistent connections off in your config.php:

// use persistant connections to the database
// 0 = don't use
// 1 = use
$usepconnect = 0; 

But if you still have problems after that, all you can do is ask your host to raise the maximum number of connections they allow.

i just opened my site up to the members yesterday and had maybe 25 of those messages in my email box.

i'll make the suggested changed to my config.php file before putting in a trouble ticket to my host.

thanks for the advice!

As Steve said, you will now have to contact your host to increase the number of connections.
